Yeah and?Who was thurman back in 2012 to fight Maidana? A 8 rounder who fought some time at 154 when chino come from his first fight at 147 looking awfull

Golden boy Ofered 3 names (thurman , porter and alfonso gomez) and maidana team pick porter but they rejected
END of the story

Tell haymon to face thurman with decent names before he starts calling out like he was the next big thing

Soto karass puts in troubles in the first round

You mean the same karass that got KTFO??? Dont get butthurt cuz maidana was offered a fight and rejected it, saying that "he has too many kos" hahahaha

I like Maidana, and I think he would give Manny problems with his pressure. However, if Floyd didn't give Maidana a rematch, he would've been pissed! Therefore, I think he should do the right thing and grant Broner a rematch at 147. If not that, he should consider moving up to 154. I heard he was 175 before the rematch.

Only if you're listening to that fool Lampley. ...

Pacquiao is all kinds of wrong for Maidana. He'd hit Marcos with 8 punch combinations almost at will.

Maidana's heart will keep him in there. But in doing so, it'll also get him beat up.

All those combos you're talking about that Pacroid throws maybe two lands when Lampley is calling the fight. Dude counts punches the other fighter lands as Pacroid punches. If you are listening the Jim Pacroid never misses a punch he throws. Most of the time Pacroid is running in off balance throwing shot and Jim is busting his wad like all of them are landing. When Pacroid fight a guy without stipulations I might give the little juicer some credit. But since that'll never happen I say Chino will Marquez him inside of 5rds. .....

yeah,broner-maidaina was a very good fight,i'd like a rematch-i think broner can adapt and might pull it off.

Stop saying he won't fight Pacquiao, after trying four times with no success at making a fight with him and you want to act surprised when he moves on?

Don't downplay that in four fights he was unable to make any adjustments to beat a man he knows inside and out and has every advantage over.

In his second fight with Floyd, Maidana was able to counter Floyd on and set up traps of his own, he learned and adjusted. He just happened to be fighting the best adapter in the game right now. Manny can't even do that after four fights, Maidana eats him alive.

You forgot to mention, pillow gloves, a biased ref, and a HUGE ring.

Ducking Thurman to take on the much easier Pacquiao. Gotcha.

When did I say that??? Stop making stuff up in your fairytale land.

LOL @ people saying Thurman is an unknown. He may be unknown to casual fight fans, but hardcore fans know who he is, and virtually all boxers sure as heck know who he is! He's the mofo who knocks people the FO!!

[bigjavi973]

Not really, there are levels to boxing. Once you become a draw you have to pull numbers. Maidana is no longer on the come up. He isn't grinding to get a title shot, he is at that level.

Thurman is still at that level where he has to grind to get recognized. Unfortunately he isn't catching on as the casual fanbase for some reason refuses to recognize him. This is in light of him winning fights in terrific fashion. For some reason Porter was able to build a base with his knockout victories but Thurman just can't.

Now he is stuck calling out the money makers because he needs that recognition, but they don't want to fight him because he brings nothing to the table. Outside of hardcore fans Thurman is a ghost, no one knows who he is.

No one knows who he is cuz NOONE wants to fight him... lol guerrero doesnt even wanna fight him. So... thats two fighters floydie fought who are obviously avoiding thurman and HAVE already avoided him.

I'll take Chino by 6th rnd KO. Pacquaio doesn't have very good defense and Marquez has already soften up Pacquiao's chin.
